Chapter Sixteen

The birds chirping outside the window awoke Riley the next morning. She peeked over the covers, not wanting to move from the position she had fallen asleep in the night before; her head on Will's torso. The sun was just rising over the trees. A hand playing with her hair told her Will was awake. They just lay there like that, listening to each other's breathing and watching the sunrise.

"You're so beautiful…" Will whispered.

"You're so… so…" she couldn't find the right word to reply with. Will smiled into the long pause, the grin quickly fading from his face as he was thinking about the question that had been lingering in his mind since the dawn…

"Riley?" he whispered.

"Mmm?"

"When… when we find a way to get me back home… will… will you come with me?"

Riley was silent, and now fully awake. She never expected to hear Will ask her that. And what COULD she do? He had said he loved her last night, oh Jesus, last night when they made love…

But she couldn't just pick up and leave everything behind… but…

Did she love him back?

"Love?"

"What? Oh… I… I don't know… I need some time to think… are you thirsty?" He nodded his response. "I'll be right back." She moved to the door, taking the top sheet with her as a cover-up.

Dammit, girl, a voice piped up inside her head, you're falling for him, you know you are! Just go with him! You know you want to!

She shook her head. I'm NOT falling for him… am I?

Oh please, the voice continued, Remember that kiss in the closet? How bad you felt and how hard you cried when you broke his heart? And just to refresh your memory… last night in its whole being?!

Riley leaned against the cabinets. She WAS falling for him… Oh, WHY did he have to be so sexy and kind and gentle and live in a different time completely?!

Coming to her senses, she grabbed a couple glasses and filled them with orange juice, also finding some fruit and putting that on a tray, then proceeding to walk back into the living room. The first aid kit was still on the couch from last night, and when she walked back into the hallway she noticed that all the pictures had been knocked off the walls. She chuckled, then went back into the room.

Will was still lying on the bed with his arms behind his head, the blanket just barely covering him, watching her. They exchanged a grin and Riley set the tray down on the bed.

"Riley, I know it's a hard decision for you to make, and I understand. You don't have to answer me right away," Will said gently.

Riley nodded, taking a bite out of a peach. It was extremely juicy and squirted all over her lips. "Oh, just great…"

Will laughed. "Let me get that…" he sat up and kissed her, at the same time licking the juice off her face. "Delicious…" he mumbled.

Marvelous, thought Riley. This decision isn't going to be easy…

…

An hour later when they had both dressed, showered, and cleaned up the place a bit, they were on the road heading back to Riley's apartment. They both thought it was best since the pirates knew where they were in the woods and at least back in the city they had people who would help them.

They were on a country road when Riley finally pulled the top down after she couldn't stand Will's badgering. The wind swept their hair back and Will cautiously stood up, raising his arms high above his head, the wind whipping at him. "WOOOOOOOO!" he bellowed. Riley laughed. This corvette sure was fun… maybe if Riley begged and pleaded Robbie he'd let them use it more. No, she thought afterwards, begging and pleading won't work… blackmail would be the only way to go… she inwardly laughed at her evil plan, but suddenly, she heard a huge engine revving up from the cross road they had just passed. She turned around, and saw a black hummer with tinted windows coming full speed in the lane right next to them.

"Hey, Will," she said, not taking her eyes off the road in front of her, but she could still see the hummer coming closer out of the corner of her eye, "would you mind getting down?"

"Why? This is so much fun, you should really try!"

"One, I'm the driver, two, its dangerous anyway, and three, we're being followed!"

"What?!" said Will, glancing next to them. "Sweet wheels," (LOL!) he said. Riley, while admiring the lingo he was learning (no doubt from Robbie) rolled her eyes and yanked him back down into his seat.

"Fasten your seat belt," she cautioned, a maniacal glint in her eye. "You know what movie I should have shown you, Will?"

"Uh, which one?" he asked a bit nervously.

"THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS!" she bellowed, then floored the gas pedal. Will was thrown back into his seat as the car sped forward.

The black hummer was gaining speed on them and in a matter of seconds, they were neck and neck. The hummer was coming closer to the right, its side about to smash into theirs…

It did with an unpleasant screech.

"OH YEAH?!" Riley yelled. "BRING IT ON!" Will looked at the girl next to him. His eyes widened. Now he was scared. Her eyes were bulging, she had a maniacal smile, her knuckles white on the steering wheel. He turned back to the road, praying that they'd make it alive.

Riley swerved the car to the left, now having smushed the hummer a bit. The rearview mirror fell off. They sped down the open road, the corvette just barely pulling ahead.

"SINCE WHEN CAN THEY DRIVE?!" Riley yelled.

Will didn't reply, he was too busy focusing on the road. They flashed past a yellow sign that neither driver seemed to notice. Will's eyes widened. DEAD END.

"RILEY!" he yelled, seeing a cross road coming up. "GO RIGHT!"

Her eyes widened and she slammed on the brakes and pulled the steering wheel all the way over as they made it. The hummer, on the other hand, did not make it and it went right into a ditch, smoke billowing out from under the hood.

The two of them glanced at each other as they continued to speed down the road. "Well, at least we made it," said Riley. "Thanks, Will."

Just then, the engine died.
